(New) Game Plan!

When I originally came up with my game plan, I didn't factor in some things such as my name would be 'Twine Birds' and the fact I currently don't have much content unless I move stuff from my old account. Also, I didn't think it would be so confusing to try to learn so many new social networking sites because in the past I never used them.

That being said, having real life commitments has slowed down my progress of making new clay items. I'm currently also working on trying to come up with a business plan. So, until I figure that out, I am putting a bit of a delay on this. I want to make sure that when I start, I have a clear idea of how much each item will cost me and make items that people will want to buy. I still have a small nice box filled of clay things that didn't get sold and I want to avoid that again if I can.

I will start making samples and post them on my DeviantArt page to test things out because I never had a chance to do that in the past as I only made items before conventions. My goal is to come up with a new "item" every week and post them every Monday. I think I will also post interesting finds, based on a theme, every week, maybe on Wednesday or Friday.

 Wish me luck and I want to thank everyone who has watched, followed or liked TwineBirds!

Up and running!

Everything should be up and running, I'm still getting use to some of the sites but everything that needs connected should be connected. My goodness, that took me awhile to do! Now all I need to do is get some works out and take pictures. I think I've figured out how not to burn my things so I should be safe. Wish me luck!

Sick day turned productive!

This is going to be my first post, assuming I keep the name. What started as a sick day for me, ended off rather productive! As someone who has moved from name to names, I had a "small" list of requirements for what I wanted. I randomly came across the word 'twine', and it reminded me of a project I did earlier in the year. Twine Birds were something I made in my sculpture class, I unwounded twine and molded them into the shape of birds, then dyed them. What I really liked about them was how while they looked solid at far, they were actually hollow which made them very delicate.
